This. Type casting is an insidious problem (both correctness, and perf)

Why pick Gemini? It's probably the worst tool calling model of the major labs.

Seems like AI slop. They list Rippling, and the description starts with Parker Conrad, but the rest of it is about Deel:

> Rippling

> Parker Conrad's redemption arc after Zenefits hit a plot twist when Rippling sued competitor Deel for planting an undercover spy inside Rippling who was paid €5,000/month by Deel's CEO to steal trade secrets. The DOJ opened a criminal investigation. Deel allegedly ran the same playbook at crypto HR startup Toku. YC uses Rippling for their own HR — awkward.

Per this description Rippling did nothing wrong here, all about Deel...

GCP would be perfect if they didn't have a history of randomly dropping quotas on startups, causing them downtime

If this goes through, it feels like it will stoke rust on zig violence

Two incidents? Just two?

In seriousness, looking at their scale, this is an insane engineering challenge.

Especially if they’re moving databases, not easy ever, and certainly not at that scale

shift+cmd click is the macos shortcut for "open this link a new tab and go to that tab"

Works on these psuedo links all over github

you can tell this was generated with Gemini, the way it loves to do those "enter on scroll" sentences

Yeah, it’s like drinking coffee when being really tired. You’re still tired, just “faster”, it’s a weird sensation.

Note that apples terms do not allow someone to sell something like an agent running on macOS. They have explicit cut outs for 24-hour minimum leases of full hardware, but they prohibit this with vms

This was inevitable, I called this a few weeks ago [1]. It’s an easy way to increase revenue without making the models smarter, and lock you in harder

> This is marketed as competition. But it’s not. It’s a cartel. Each company gets its own protected territory, and consumers get no choice.

Starlink has me extra excited for exactly this: region agnostic competition.

Get rekt, telecom incumbents

> Don’t try to sell developers the stuff that’s fun, the stuff they want to build. Sell them the stuff they avoid or don’t want to take responsibility for.

I think a lot of people in devtools could learn from this right now

Because the model labs can RL against their own scaffold, which will be borderline unbeatable

With unified memory and such a strong os-hardware integration, one would hope that swap could handle this task
